Presented in partnership with Something Weird Video...

The American Genre Film Archive (AGFA) represents the world's largest theatrical catalog of exploitation cinema. Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

In the 1990s, Something Weird Video hypnotized a generation of movie maniacs by unearthing the most radically surreal genre films of all time—all via the magic of VHS. DRUG-O-RAMA VIDEO PARTY is a loving tribute to those cathode-tube-fueled days. Featuring four drug-and-sex-crazed features—all preserved from the original Something Weird S-VHS masters—this collection serves as a time machine to a beloved era in home video history.

HELP WANTED FEMALE (1968, 68 mins, B&W)
Dementedly campy and just plain demented, this sexploitation murder-party stars Sebastian Gregory as an LSD-fueled serial killer named Sebastian Gregory.

HEDONISTIC PLEASURES (1969, 55 mins, Color)
"This is Hollywood, baby—the world's biggest whore!" So begins this bizarro, psychedelic "documentary" about La La Land's sexual underground from the producers of THE HARD ROAD.

ALICE IN ACIDLAND (1969, 54 mins, B&W/Color)
One-part After School Special and all-parts unreal, this dreamy riff on Lewis Carroll's classic follows a drug-crazed sex kitten as she plunges headfirst down the wrong rabbit hole.

THE HARD ROAD (1970, 85 mins, Color)
The ultimate collision between exploitation and classroom scare films, this knock-out by director Gary Graver features a role from Liz Renay (John Waters's DESPERATE LIVING) and more pill popping than VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

Reviews

4 typical exploitation films of the sixties

"A thoroughly enjoyable quadruple feature. The drive-in option is a very welcome bonus. The films themselves are typical of the era. The presence of the SWV logo at the bottom of the screen on all the films is a bit of a drawback, but the overall quality of the program makes this Blu-ray a recommended purchase."

Frederick D. (4/5)

A highly entertaining trip into vintage counterculture

"AGFA put together a great mix of drug-and-sex-crazed exploitation flicks from the late 60s and early 70s. It’s a fun, retro time capsule that delivers exactly what you'd expect from a classic SMV mixtape."

CHAN T. (5/5)

Another great AGFA compilation

"AGFA’s Drug‑O‑Rama Video Party release is a wild, lovingly restored collage of vintage drug‑scare shorts, psychedelic oddities, and counterculture ephemera—delivered with the label’s trademark mix of archival care and anarchic fun. AGFA leans into the “party tape” spirit of the original compilation but elevates it with noticeably improved transfers, cleaner audio, and a more thoughtfully sequenced lineup. The result feels less like a random grab‑bag and more like a curated museum exhibit of America’s most hysterical anti‑drug media. You get everything from straight‑faced educational reels to unintentionally hilarious scare films to full‑blown psychedelic experiments, stitched together into a fast, funny, and frequently surreal viewing experience. Fans of exploitation history praise AGFA’s release for its preservation work, its playful packaging, and its ability to turn cultural detritus into something genuinely entertaining. It’s perfect for collectors who enjoy the intersection of camp, cautionary propaganda, and underground cinema."
